Foundation Repair Photo Album: Stabilizing Foundation Walls In Kirkwood, MO
A home in Kirkwood, Missouri, was having foundation displacement issues. Cracks were starting to appear in both the exterior and interior walls of the home, indicating the presence of moving ground soils. To fix this issue, Woods came out and installed the PowerBrace System to address this issue. This system consists of steel beams that are attached to the wall and connected to the floor joists above. They are then anchored down to the floor, effectively providing support for a failing foundation. With this install in place, this basement will be much more stable for years into the future.
